Pecans 
During the past ten years no feature of horticulture has 
been given greater attention or more wide publicity than has 
the Pecan. Pecan growing is no longer an experiment, for 
already it is one of the most profitable crops of the Southwest. 
Varieties should be planted which are suited to location, and 
when this is done and good care and cultivation are given, the 
results will amply repay for all efforts. Generally speaking, 
the Eastern varieties should be planted almost exclusively in 
the Eastern portion of Sections A, B and B, and the Western 
varieties should be planted almost exclusively in the Western 
portion of Section C, while the fertile territory lying between 
may be planted to both the Eastern and Western sorts. The 
dividing line for the planting of the two sorts is variable, and 
it is in this middle territory where care must be given to se¬ 
lection of varieties.

BURKETT (Western)—Tree a strong grower and a consistent 
but not heavy bearer. Nuts large, rather round, with thin 
shell which is fairly well filled with kernel of good flavor. 
HALBERT (Western)—Tree a moderate grower; nuts of fair 
size and always well filled. Shell thin, kernel rich and ex¬ 
cellent. Prolific and bears when quite young. 
DELMAS (Eastern)—Nuts large, oblong, tapering at both ends; 
shell medium, separating from kernel which is of delicate fla¬ 
vor. Trees thrifty but maturing fruit quite late in the season. 
FROTSCHER (Eastern)—Tree vigorous and spreading, pro¬ 
ducing heavy crops of large, oblong nuts; shell thin, crack¬ 
ing easily; kernel of good quality. 
MONEYMAKER (Eastern)—Tree healthy and of vigorous 
growth, bearing early and abundantly. Nuts of medium size, 
good quality, thick shell. One of the best varieties.
